X-rays will be taken and interpreted, when deemed necessary.
Neurological examination and other medical tests will be carried out.

Performing soft tissue therapies, including dry needling and trigger point therapy.
Educating and advising patients on rehabilitation exercises to aid long-term recovery, and techniques to ensure health is maintained.
